The Polish Minister of Defense, Władysław Kusiniak-Kamis, hastened to distance himself from "the gunman from Krakow", saying that the shooter has no ties to the Polish army: "I completely refute the claims circulating in the public sphere that today's attack in Krakow was carried out by a Polish soldier. This man was not, and is not, a member of Poland's armed forces, and he never had anything to do with the military," he said.
